Determining the OS 1

[daniel87dec]

Hello.
Can somebody please tell me how I can determine the operating system of the computer on which the program is being run. Is there a function in java that does that? Also, is there a function in java that lets you determine the version of java installed on the computer?

Thanks in advance.

You want :

System.getProperty("os.name");
System.getProperty("java.version");

This is how you get all available System properties :

     for (Enumeration e = System.getProperties().propertyNames() ; e.hasMoreElements() ;) {
         String propName = (String)e.nextElement();
         System.out.println(propName +"=" +System.getProperty(propName));
     }

In future, it is better to post on forum269 as this one doesn't get much traffic ...
